Sexual Distress

Whether your distress originates from physical pain or psychological pain, therapy is instrumental in addressing sexual distress by providing tailored support and interventions. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to explore the root causes of their distress, whether it’s related to relationship issues, past trauma, body image concerns, sexual orientation, kink lifestyle or cultural influences.

Additionally, therapy offers education about sexual health and function, helping individuals understand their bodies, desires, and boundaries more fully. Therapists provide information about sexual anatomy, arousal, and pleasure, as well as strategies for enhancing sexual satisfaction and communication within relationships.

Moreover, therapy for sexual distress addresses emotional and relational aspects of sexuality, such as shame, guilt, or fear of intimacy. Therapists help individuals develop self-compassion, self-acceptance, and confidence in their sexual identities and desires, promoting a positive and fulfilling sexual self-concept.
